Saturday, January 11 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM Session A: DH23: Mobile Hybrid Devices and Entertainment Content The hottest growth areas in the technology space are the wireless and PDA arenas and these sectors are evolving from simple communication and data management tools, transforming themselves into portals for content and entertainment.
